Unscripted content with a social media twist was the flavor of the month at Nick, which renewed both Nickelodeon’s Unfiltered and Group Chat for second seasons. Remotely produced talk show Group Chat is getting seven more episodes as hosts Brent Rivera and Jayden Bartels continue to tackle the latest social media hot topics that have got kids talking. Meanwhile, Nick ordered nine more episodes of game show Nickelodeon’s Unfiltered, which pits a celebrity panel of judges against each other with the goal of solving puzzles to find out the identity of an unknown guest. Both shows have done well among six to 11s, topping the unscripted category on the channel, according to Nickelodeon.
